First Edition/Unique Edition.

This was the only book by the Civil War Hero published in his lifetime. It is likely that this book came from the library of the noted Maine book collector Frank Cutter Deering. Deering was a passionate “grangerizer” and the quality in execution and design is consistent with other books grangerized by Deering. This book includes eight maps and sixty bound engravings, and one photograph all tipped in at related text sections.

From the Collection of Bob Macdonald

Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.
